A Day in the Life of a Lifty

We teamed up with KGB Productions and the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival to contribute to a global film project: One Day on Earth. Footage will be collectived from all over the world to become a digital "time capsule" of a single 24 hour period. Enjoy Jackson Hole from the point of view of a lift operator.

I used to work with Tim Mason. Great guy! Worked Thunder lift and then built a few chairs there with POMA in the summers

[@AK307S]

We appreciate you guys so much! Thanks for making The Hole the best place on Earth!

[@SirDavidHaddon]

Talk about loving your job, Can see by the smiles on their faces! A Great Bunch of People...

[@dennisholbrook9185]

What great attitudes these folks have! They make Jackson Hole the best place to ski with positive thinking and love of their jobs. Thanks for all your hard work - you make it look easy and we all appreciate you!

[@dr00andrew]

any relation to the guy in the video?

[@cvn6555]

Haven't been everywhere but I've been to a few places and Jackson is the best so far. So focused on the skiing and the mountain. Always more terrain more challenging than the last.

[@dustyowl99]

Jackson is pretty much considered the best ski resort in north America so that makes sense

A lifty for life myself!! Work a Detach quad at Bristol Mtn in NY!! 25+years, and love every day! So happy to see our guests every morning for first (their🙄)tracks and make sure every trip up our mile long 1200' vertical lift is safe and their best ride ever!! Having pass to ski days off is great, hope to one day get to experience the western powder, and hopefully to experience Jackson Hole!! Hiring new lifties every year ? There must be a waiting list to get on staff there!!😁😂❤️

Everyone at JH resort had such a great attitude. Really made our visit there great.

Nice video. 🤗I am a 11 year lifty over at Hoodoo ski in Oregon. ❤️ No where the size of your mountain, but we have the same kind of family with return employee's every year✨🤗

[@HikerBryanAK]

Those were the days, top shack of Apres Vous on a bluebird day! Winter 2007/08.

[@TroutOffTheGrid]

Got my lot in Victor and I'm aiming for being a Lifty at JHMR or Ghee after a few more years in the NYC grind.

[@Daraymann]

I am curious as to why you would put any unsecured piece of equipment on a chair during a high wind event.

[@sammybindahouse]

I want to be a lifty! but then again I am only 13 and live half way across the globe...... well i can at least dream!

Just imagine if he commented again and he was one

[@jeffjensen27]

Of course 🤔☝️If You Had Lifts Like That Of Big Sky Resort With Dopplemyare D Line With Wind Proof Translucent Bubbles 🫧 That Covers The Whole Chair. Big Sky Resort Has 3 Bubble Chairlifts So Gone Are The Days Of Sweeping 🧹 Off The Chairs 🪑 Like 😲🥺☝️Your Resort Seems To Be.

[@Photostudioww]

You boys got it made. Vail don't even have snow blowers. They got d9s.

[@RatsburyRaven74]

SOLITUDE LIFTY!!

[@skullproductions5445]

I love JACKSON HOLL!!!!!!!!!!

[@lawrencewestby9229]

I wouldn't be able to even start to count the number of times I have gone up Sublette.

[@SamHudson9713]

in the same boat!

[@fruitshishkabob]

I know a big perk of the job is riding everyday, and sometimes housing too, but what kind of pay range per hour do liftys get generally?

[@LVLheaded710]

20/hr in park city

[@LUKE390425]

Haha every resort does the same daily things pretty dope

[@stephaneleboyer9900]

perfect conditions!
